The Fertile Crescent - "The region is often considered the cradle of civilization, saw the development of many of the earliest human civilizations, and is the birthplace of writing and the wheel."
This is where it all went wrong. The people in the fertile crescent are the ones that metaphorically ate from the "tree of knowledge".
